I'm also having issues with getting the track to be flat... the hardboard curves sometimes.

I've managed to solve it with packing tape on the seams, but you also have to raise up the joints with little bits of folded paper to get it perfect before taping...

*sigh* problems...

pins aren't a bad idea, but it's only 1/8th inch thick...

Heh, the surface is the backside of "hardboard". it's got a glazed surface, perfect for drifting on one side, and the other side grips really well with Z's.

I used some packing tape on the gaps today and it worked out fairly well...

I'm still gonna have to really spend some time into it... it's kinda frustrating.

I got an Idea on the backside of the track you can glue some male/female connectors almost like a hook and loop....they sell that stuff at the home depot for latching door and drawers.......or you can use velcro glue on each side of seam and then put a larger piece to spand both seams or pieces
